About Me

I grew up in Switzerland and I've been living in Zurich for 7 years. In between I lived in Berlin, Vienna and I was also traveling a lot. I study in the Master program in Fine Arts at the University of the Arts in Zurich. My practice focuses on questions that can be traced to feminist and anti-capitalist contexts. Through subversive and political strategies I expose normality as a state of exception, hereby allowing a shift in perspective and an opening for transgression.

Friends of mine and I are running a collectively organised space for media, visual, performative, literary and discursive arts. There are happening solo and group shows, talks, screenings, reading groups, 24-hour-seminars, performances, debates and musical interventions. Our aim with these formats is to profoundly look into specific subject-matters, which include continuously relevant discourses like labour, gender difference, desire, architecture, capitalism, racism, technology and fiction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately I'm not that active on this plattform neither with couchsurfing. But I'm a member since 2009, so I still have collected some experiences with couchsurfing all over the world. I usually did couchsurfing with friends I was traveling with and I want to experience it more!

Interests

I LOVE TO SPEND MY TIME WITH:
reading books, listen to music, watching films, hanging out with friends, dancing everywhere, traveling and having an exchange with people from different cultural, religious, geographic and socio-economic backgrounds, writing, study postcolonial and queer-feminist theories, creating and developing artistic strategies in politics, thinking about an utopia where the experience of discrimination, social marginalisation and violence at the intersections: race, ethnicity, class and gender not exists
